I grew up with Wes. I knew him since I was 5. Before his condition got to bad his dream was to be a quarter back for byu. But as I remember things got worse for him in high school. He was paranoid and easy to tease I tried to stand up for him. Such as a time brandon tuttle was telling him he was going to blow up his home he started to cry in welding shop. I talked to him and he told me what was going on. I made brandon stop. He had a hard time in high school. I kept in contact with him I only live two blocks from his parents. As a fireman I have gone on him 3 times when he had a seizure and fell. Usualy cracking his head. I had him over to my home a couple of times. I was going to have a suprise b day party for him and never followed through. I hate regrets I will have to have it with him on the other side. Wes is in a better and happier place now. he always woundered why he was how he was. And no one had a answer for him. God bless you wes until we meet again. GregAndy Bailey
I grew up with Wes. He was my best friend when I was about 8 or 9 for a couple of years. Memories I have with Wes from that time include hiking all over the mountains above our homes, building forts to play around in, sleepovers, and playing Space Invaders and other games on his Atari with him. I mostly watched, because he was way better at it than I was. I remember Wes as always being such a sweet kid, full of questions that I did not have answers for. As he started to have the epilepsy as he got older, he really seemed to struggle. As I look back, I can hardly believe how mean some of the kids were to him. I wish I would've stood up for him more. My last memories of him, in his early twenties, were of him really struggling with the epilepsy, but still wanting to be like everybody else. I fell out of touch when I moved to Richfield thirteen years ago. I feel bad knowing that he is no longer with us on this earth, but I am happy knowing he is in a better place, and no longer burdened with the issues he had here, but able to run, and jump, and throw that football a mile. God Bless Wesley Stewart.
